Episode notes
Samantha Bee is the Daily Show’s longest-tenured correspondent, having joined the program in 2003. She’s also the author of a new memoir, I Know I Am But What Are You?
Bee grew up in an unusual tripartite family, splitting time between a matronly grandmother, a conservative, re-married father and a bohemian, Wiccan mother. She met her husband, the Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones, while working in a Sailor Moon-themed stage show at the Canadian National Exposition.
She talked with us from New York City.
